Whiffs on Ebay

I also thought of contacting him and ask him about the similarties about those ships when I first was it.

Regaring the quality of his kits, I have built one of them a while ago: . Quality was mixed, but normal for what I would call "short-run resin kit". While the bigger parts of hte ship were good, most of the smaller parts were simply unusable. Like AA guns, boats etc. For some of this models on ebay, I think I also was pictures of he pars, not only the completed model.

But I also must agree - if he would ask someone who created a drawing / model whatever before he made the model kit it would be ok.
But in those days, people often just copy what they find in the internet. I am always surprising where I find some stuff that I had created for my German Navy website, even in books where they just take some stuff without asking.

Well it is interesting but no, just no.

I agree with you. I just can't work out the V-1 with a cannon to start with. And does it have a rocket "tube" underneath it ?

  indeed

(even I would not have dared  )

I could build one for a lot less! If I really wanted one of course.

What are the bulges on the Shindens' noses meant to be for?

I like it.

I don't US $190.55 like it though...

Other than to cover up the holes left by the absence of the canards, I can't think of any other reason.

The whole thing is just a bit

I'd need to read the backstory (if any) before making a judgement.

With the canards gone,just how does it have any pitch control ?

Hmmmm, with that minimal sweepback and the CG just about on the mean chord line he's not going to have all that much control authority.

The bulbous fairings could house gyroscopes and the long fairings could be some sort of weight shift device to maintain CG limit's and control pitch
